Glad you had the opportunity to get inspired by attending a STEEM meet-up! I've met so many awesome people here over the past months, but they tend to be scattered all over the world. It would be amazing to be able to meet some of them in person.

@steemmonsters is such a powerful project, because there are few things people get as excited about as games that capture the imagination and allow it to run wild. I just became a backer on the Kickstarter and they are literally only $69 away from completing the main amount they were asking!

Among all the popular card games like Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh and others, what Steem Monsters is doing is unprecedented because of the integrity of the existence of each card. Everything is totally transparent and with a unique cryptographic hash it's easy to trace the exact rarity of each monster.

Also, their decision to make it with an art style that appeals to children is brilliant! After all, though we are some of the early adopters of blockchain, it will be the next generation who see it carried through to total adoption. I'm really looking forward to the launch of the game! Even though they reached the $50,000 goal, let's keep going further and reach some of the awesome "flex goals" listed on the Kickstarter as extra perks!
